Model 8 Series

The Model 8 series weld heads are orbital weld heads for fusion (GTAW) welding of fittings, tubing and thin wall pipe. The narrow width of these heads makes it ideal for limited clearance applications, such as welding fitting to fitting or fitting to valve body assemblies. Welds materials such as stainless steel, titanium, Hastelloy™, and other autogenously weldable alloys.

A key feature of the Model 8 series weld heads is its unique cooling design, allowing high duty-cycle welding. When connected to an AMI cooling unit, all components of this weld head are liquid-cooled, including cables, clamp housings, and electrode rotors.

A variety of clamps are available to perfectly suit every welding application. For fitting-to-fitting or tube-to-fitting welds, the standard (narrow) clamps require the least amount of stick-out.

ArcMachine-Model9-weldhead

Model 9 Series

The Model 9 series of orbital weld heads are designed for fusion (TIG) welding of tube, pipe, fittings or other cylindrical components. Available in ten sizes and three versions, they can be configured over 60 different ways and can accommodate diameters from 3/32” (2,3 mm) to 7.5” (190,5 mm) OD, and wall thicknesses from 0.01” (0,25 mm) to 0.16” (4 mm).

Each weld head fits a wide range of tube sizes via easily replaced, size-specific clamps. The standard Model 9 incorporates a two-sided clamping mechanism to hold components being welded in line and concentric - eliminating the need for tack welding. Several of these heads incorporate a flip-up viewing window, for easy verification of fit-up. Most Model 9 weld heads are plumbed for water cooling of both the cables and internal weld head components - allowing increased duty-cycles.

Compatible with all AMI Power Supplies.

EWM-M217-powersupply

Model 217

The Model 217 WDR is a 100/150A programmable GTAW power supply. It is designed to work with all AMI's orbital fusion weld heads and is capable of welding tube and thin wall pipe.

The internal memory of the machine stores up to 1000 different welding schedules for quick access. High-integrity, sanitary welds are easily reproduced at the touch of a button. The welds produced by the Model 217 WDR meet or exceed the specifications required by diverse industries such as semiconductor, food, dairy, beverage, pharmaceutical, aerospace, renewable energy, and nuclear.

  • WDR (Weld Data Recording): recording and saving of weld data; exporting to a storage device in comma-separated value (.csv) file format; saving project weld data records as a single file.
  • 12” color touch-screen display
  • Computer-controlled internal memory for 1000+ weld schedules and up to 99 levels per schedule
  • Manual or automated weld procedure generation
  • Weld schedules: pulsed, step, no-pulsed, S3 and pulsed S3
  • H.F. arc starting
  • ID and OD gas pressure control and on-screen pressure monitoring
  • Fault detection: gas, coolant
  • Internal printer for a print of schedule setting and quantity of completed welds
  • Digital weld head control to allow connection to weld heads from other manufacturers.
